Up to $2.50 per tire extra for nitrogen fill can be rationalized. Any
more is highway robbery.
"Rationalized" on basis of dealer cost, maybe, but I can't see there's
anything close to the payback possible for an ordinary passenger car
tire on an automobile driven routinely.
What minimal advantages there are really only accrue for extremely long
intervals between changes such as collector or antique vehicles or very
specialized applications such as racing or hazard duty where the
flammability in accident might conceivably be an added risk.
Otherwise, just nothing that it does is sufficient to make any
discernible difference in the bottom line to the end user.
